Why do so many trans people still feel stuck in their middle school phase? I want to connect with more people but it feels like a divide /gen. Does anyone else get me?

We grew up repressed and unable to truly express ourselves for years. It’s not that the middle school phase is something we have never left; we never truly had it to begin with Most trans people you meet are moreso just getting the “middle school phase” out of their system if anything. The self discovery, the experimentation, it’s all stuff we never really had the opportunity to truly do

I do genuinely get what you mean. Im a transmasc and honors student, and it’s a bit frustrating feeling like a lot of the queer people i meet are socially regressed. It’s hard to talk about it though

Yeah also puberty makes people do shit, and anyone on hormones is quite literally undergoing a second puberty, so that might explain some of it too
